SUGARHOLIC by Gong GooGoo

As part of her grandmother’s scheme, twenty-year-old Jae-Gyu is sent from her secluded country village to the big city. Completely out of her element and out of money, Jae-Gyu manages to get into trouble as soon as she gets off the bus. She expected the move would be rough, but she never thought she’d meet the last person she ever wanted to see again — Hee-Do, a boy from grade school whom she bullied mercilessly. Even though he’s a big-time rock star now, he still remembers his childhood tormentor. Is he out for revenge? Or is it something quite different…?

As part of her grandmother’s scheme, twenty-year-old Jae-Gyu is sent from her secluded country village to the big city. Completely out of her element and out of money, Jae-Gyu manages to get into trouble as soon as she gets off the bus. She expected the move would be rough, but she never thought she’d meet the last person she ever wanted to see again — Hee-Do, a boy from grade school whom she bullied mercilessly. Even though he’s a big-time rock star now, he still remembers his childhood tormentor. Is he out for revenge? Or is it something quite different…?

Thrust in the middle of a family feud, Jae-Gyu reluctantly accepts Whie-Hwan’s proposal (he may be a jerk, but he’s loaded!). For the next month, she’s agreed to pose as his live-in girlfriend and obey his every command! It’s been less than a week since she moved to Seoul, and already she’s in way over her head! And small-town life has done little to prepare her for the dark deeds of city nightlife. When Jae-Gyu’s ignorance lands her in a roomful of eager playboys with money to burn, will it be her millionaire “boyfriend” or her rock star admirer who comes to the rescue?

Jae-Gyu and Whie-Hwan’s romantic charade is put to the test at President Ko’s engagement party. Jae-Gyu slips away while Whie-Hwan falters before his former girlfriend, Hae-Mee, who seems eager to reignite the flame despite her engagement. But what does Whie-Hwan want? If it’s Jae-Gyu, he’d better hurry. Accosted by Sung-Jun from the slave auction, Jae-Gyu’s put in a frantic call to Hee-Do, and the rock star is already on his way to snatch her out of danger…and out of Whie-Hwan’s life as well!

Jae-Gyu still can’t believe she’s been suddenly swept off to Bangkok on her first real date with Whie-Hwan. Though she is fearful to be in an unfamiliar city with a boy she hardly knows, Jae-Gyu’s defenses relax when she sees the usually hostile Whie-Hwan in the only place he’s ever felt at home. But when his grandfather freezes all of Whie-Hwan’s credit cards in an effort to keep his disobedient grandson from leaving the city, it’s only a matter of time before they are found. When that happens, will Jae-Gyu be torn from Whie-Hwan just when their love was beginning to blossom?

Jae-Gyu is shocked when Whie-Hwan reappears in Seoul after months of silence. Although her pride would have her push Whie-Hwan away, her heart is telling her something quite different. But just as Jae-Gyu has taken her first steps into independence and adulthood, Whie-Hwan is also considering what the future has in store for him. If his path leads him back to the beaches of Thailand, will Jae-Gyu follow? Or will Hee-Do seize the opportunity to confess his own feelings? Find out in the final volume of Sugarholic!
